Each group should develop an inquiry plan to study the chosen topic using the following outline. Each group will have a “Project Page” to work with on the Science Methods Wiki to document & post work throughout the project.
Create the following pages as part of your group’s Project wiki:
Concept Map Content Knowledge
Background Knowledge for Teacher
Resources for Teaching
Questions
Our Inquiry
Assessments
Select topic as a group.
Prepare a concept map about what you know currently about your selected topic. Be as specific as possible with your map. Create your maps with your current knowledge. Do not reference other materials at this point. You should draw your maps by using the concept mapping Web 2.0 tool found at https://bubbl.us/ The concept map should be completed individually. Include a paragraph about your previous experience and comfort level with the topic as an additional node on your map. Embed your tool on the “concept map” page of your project wiki. Use a common color throughout your map to show your understanding “prior” to the project. You will revisit this tool and add to it after you have completed the project – you will need to use a different color for your “post” understanding. Add labels to the map to show what color represents pre and post understanding.
Each person should select 1 website, 1 tradebook, and 1 lesson plan about the topic and include them on the “Resources for Teaching” project page. Include a direct link to online websites and lesson plans. Each resource should include a 1-2 sentence annotation describing the resource. Include a picture of each tradebook as well - You are not required to purchase or have the tradebook on hand.

Background Knowledge for Teacher
All things, living and noliving are made up of matter. All matter has mass and takes up space. Matter can exist as a solid, liquid, or a gas.All matter is made up of parts too small to see called atoms. Atoms that are joined together are called molecules. Each of these forms is recognized able by the physical properties of the substance. Solids has the following properties: maintaining size, shape, and visibility. Solid cannot move out of their place. Liquid has the following properties: can change shape based on its container while not changing in volume. Most liquids are visible. Whereas; gas has the following properties: invisibility and change shape easily. Gas moves about freely. Gas particles spread out to fill their container. Matter can change from one state to another depending on the temperature, so matter can go from a solid to a liquid to a gas and back to a solid by removing the heat.
Questions
What is the difference between solids, liquids, and gas? Which one is a solid and which one is a liquid? Can you see gas? What happens to the balloon when the solid and the liquid mixed? Why did the balloon expand? How do you make a gas? Why is sand a solid and not a liquid?

The teacher will assess the students in the following manners:
1. Collect student's lab report to determine whether students understand of the different stages of matter.
2. Teacher will observe students partcipating in the experiment.
